Chapter 84 Undercurrent

In the end, Qi Xing didn't sit in the passenger seat next to Lin Yue.

Instead, it was given to Meiyun.

He sat in the middle with King Kong, and behind him, there was Zhou Zhe.

Zhou Zhe did not drive in the end, but got into Lin Yue's van.

It was around six o'clock in the morning before dawn on the winter day. Lin Yue drove the car and listened to Zhou Zhe and Qi Xing talking one after another.

Most of the dialogue is between Zhou Zhe asking questions and Qi Xing answering.

Zhou Zhe asked Qi Xing: "What does Mr. Qi do?"

Qi Xing replied: "Freelance."

"No wonder Mr. Qi looks so energetic. With his clothes and energy, at first glance, he really looks like a star."

Zhou Zhe seemed to be praising Qi Xing, but it didn't seem like it.

Qi Xing's answer was not modest at all: "That's right, I usually know a lot about clothes. When I go out shopping to buy clothes, people are willing to take pictures of me. Oh, Mr. Zhou, that's what I think, you're not big

Suitable for wearing a suit. If your shoulders are not wide enough, your height is not enough, and your waist is not narrow enough, and you don’t usually exercise, you won’t look good in a suit. However, this is also my opinion.”

Zhou Zhe's face looked a little ugly. But in order to show his generosity, he could only smile and say: "Because I often go to some formal occasions, I have to wear a suit. I really never thought that I am not suitable for wearing a suit."

Qi Xing said seriously again: "Actually, Mr. Zhou can wear some high-end suits, tailor-made, so that he can use his strengths and avoid his weaknesses."

Zhou Zhe finally caught something: "Does Mr. Qi have many suits like this?"

Qi Xing said generously: "No. I'm poor and I can't afford to wear clothes. Besides, I'm not as successful as Mr. Zhou."

Haha. Zhou Zhe just wanted to tear Qi Xing to pieces.

Meiyun coughed and glanced at Lin Yue.

Lin Yue concentrated on driving.

King Kong quickly said: "Meiyun, why are you coughing? Are you feeling uncomfortable after eating spicy food just now?"

Meiyun's tone was a bit harsh: "I'm fine."

King Kong was very attentive: "I brought hot water, please drink some."

Meiyun refused: "No need."

Zhou Zhe then laughed: "Brother King Kong is so considerate."

King Kong just smiled awkwardly.

Everyone was silent, and it was a little cold in the car.

Zhou Zhe added: "Jin Zi drives very fast. Did he go ahead?"

Jin Zi's car was carrying Liu Feifei. Qi Xing and the others were still getting on the car, and Jin Zi drove away.

King Kong said, "Well, he would pass by our house when he went to Lingxiu Mountain. He said he would go home first."

Zhou Zhe added: "Mr. Qi is from the city. He has never done farm work before. He has to climb mountains and dig winter bamboo shoots. This is different from Mr. Qi's usual bodybuilding."

Even the slow Jin Jin could see that Zhou Zhe was going to have trouble with Qi Xing today. But why? There was no enmity between the two.

Qi Xing snorted in his heart, "You're such a little guy, but you still want to quarrel with me."

He said: "It's not easy. I said last night that if I can't do it, I won't force it or show off. When I feel tired, I'll find a rock to sit on, rest, and enjoy the scenery, so Mr. Zhou doesn't have to worry about me.

However, I am worried that Mr. Zhou may hurt himself if he is too expressive."

Meiyun wanted to laugh, but she just held it in.

Jin Zi was not sensitive to anything else except Meiyun. He was a little confused: "Mr. Zhou must be very experienced and won't be hurt."

Lin Yue suddenly said: "The sun is coming out."

The thick clouds and mist slowly dispersed, and on the distant mountain, a pale yellow sun rose shyly, and then shone brightly.

"It's great, the weather is good today." Meiyun said.

Zhou Zhe didn't ask Qi Xing again during the rest of the journey.

As we approached Lingxiu Mountain, the concrete road suddenly stopped, and there was only a winding section, with a surface comparable to the surface of the moon, winding straight into the mountain.

The gold was waiting for them just ahead of the dirt road.

His fiery red hair is particularly conspicuous in the morning sun: "It's just a short distance, it shouldn't be difficult to walk."

Zhou Zhe also said: "My friend's house is at the foot of the mountain. It can be reached by car. However, it may be a bit difficult to get there by van. In this case, Lin Yue, I will drive the van and you go to Jin Zi's car."

Lin Yue said: "No, you can go to Jin Zi's car. It's more convenient for me to drive alone."

Zhou Zhe also wanted to say that Qi Xing had already opened the car door: "I have seen shopkeeper Lin's driving skills. He is very brave. Beauty Meiyun, you and King Kong can go to Jin Zi's car."

He also thoughtfully placed his hand on top of the car door.

Meiyun winked at him and got out of the car: "You have to take good care of my Lin Yue."

Meiyun got out of the car, and King Kong naturally got out quickly, but Zhou Zhe remained motionless in the car. Jin Zi's car drove out first. His car was off-road, with a high chassis, and it easily jumped out of the way.

Zhou Zhe said: "We share blessings and share hardships."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yue stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the car bounced out.

He secretly glanced at Qi Xing and saw Qi Xing's face was relaxed and he had his arms folded across his chest, as if he was not surprised.

He clearly asked Lin Tingting that Qi Xing had only stayed at the B&B for a few days. But Qi Xing seemed to have experienced many things with Lin Yue.

Lin Yue didn't seem to care much about his confession.

He couldn't figure out Lin Yue's attitude for a while. However, Lin Yue did not reject him clearly, which meant that the matter was still possible. He was a very thick-skinned person and would not give up as long as possible.

The van passed through several more small pits.

Zhou Zhe was swaying left and right, a little embarrassed, but the two people in front had their faces as usual.

If Zhou Zhe had clairvoyance, he would definitely be able to see Qi Xing's long legs pressed tightly against the front, his hips tensed, and his back pressed tightly against the seat, not daring to relax at all. Lin Yue was indeed driving very hard.

But as long as Zhou Zhe is here, he won't show the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Zhou Zhe began to regret why he didn't insist on driving his cross-country car.

Just as he was thinking about it, Qi Xing said coolly: "Mr. Zhou, are you okay?"

"Of course it's okay." Zhou Zhe responded through gritted teeth.

"It's fine." Qi Xing added, "But if Mr. Zhou wants to open a B&B here, he must first build a road. I heard that road construction is not cheap, um... This road costs hundreds of thousands.

Right. But if Mr. Zhou builds the road, it can be regarded as a good deed and a benefit to the villagers and elders."

Lin Yue said beside him: "The construction of this section of road will cost more than a hundred thousand yuan, probably more than 200,000 yuan."

Zhou Zhe had to laugh and said: "Of course there is a budget for road construction."

"But Mr. Zhou has many friends, and more than 200,000 yuan should be a drop in the bucket for Mr. Zhou." Qi Xing suddenly held up Zhou Zhe.

Zhou Zhe smiled falsely: "Friends are friends, and the accounts must be calculated clearly."

He was thinking about it. The almanac he read before going out said that there was a small bump in the matter. This little bump was probably referring to the person named Qi.

Fortunately, the dirt road began to level out in the second half, and Zhou Zhe was finally not so embarrassed.

Zhou Zhe's friend's house is at the foot of the mountain, with several large houses with wooden walls and tile roofs, looming in the lush bamboo forest.

A big yellow dog saw their car from a distance and started barking.

Several plump hens led a group of chicks to forage for food.
